Biden Admin Using Anti-Terrorism Tech to Target Americans Who Question Vaccines, Election Results

Democrat President Joe Bidenโ€™s administration is using powerful military-grade anti-terrorism technology to target American citizens who question vaccines or raise concerns about election fraud, a leading expert is warning.

Mike Benz, the executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, is accusing the U.S. federal government is adopting military-grade AI that was used to crack down on ISIS.

According to Benz, these anti-terrorist tools are being used to censor dissent by U.S. citizens on issues such as vaccine hesitancy and claims of election fraud.

Private firms and universities have received millions of dollars in grants from the taxpayer-funded federal agency National Science Foundation (NSF).

The NSF grants are being issued to develop tools similar to those developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agencyโ€™s Social Media in Strategic Communications (SMISC) program in 2011.

SMISCโ€™s tools were used โ€œto help identify misinformation or deception campaigns and counter them with truthful information,โ€ in the Middle East.

Mike Benz details in a report how the NSF and other organizations are using this technology to censor the speech of Americans.

โ€œOne of the most disturbing aspects of the Convergence Accelerator Track F domestic censorship projects is how similar they are to military-grade social media network censorship and monitoring tools developed by the Pentagon for the counterinsurgency and counterterrorism contexts abroad,โ€ reads the report.

Speaking toย Just the News, he said: โ€œDARPAโ€™s been funding an AI network using the science of social media mapping dating back to at least 2011-2012, during the Arab Spring abroad and during the Occupy Wall Street movement here at home.

โ€œThey then bolstered it during the time of ISIS to identify homegrown ISIS threats in 2014-2015.โ€

The NSF has adopted DARPAโ€™s technology to target two groups of Americans: those skeptical of recent election results and those who claim COVID-19 vaccines could be harmful, according to Benz.

โ€œThe terrifying thing is, as all of this played out, it was redirected inward during 2016 โ€” domestic populism was treated as a foreign national security threat,โ€ Benz said.

โ€œWhat youโ€™ve seen is a grafting on of these concepts of mis- and disinformation that were escalated to such high-intensity levels in the news over the past several years being converted into a tangible, formal government program to fund and accelerate the science of censorship,โ€ he said.

โ€œYou had this project at the National Science Foundation called the Convergence Accelerator, which was created by the Trump administration to tackle grand challenges like quantum technology.

โ€œWhen the Biden administration came to power, they basically took this infrastructure for multidisciplinary science work to converge on a common science problem and took the problem of what people say on social media as being on the level of, say, quantum technology.

โ€œAnd so they created a new track called the track F program โ€ฆ and itโ€™s for โ€˜trust and authenticity,โ€™ but what that means is, and what itโ€™s a code word for is, if trust in the government or trust in the media cannot be earned, it must be installed.

โ€œAnd so they are funding artificial intelligence, censorship capacities, to censor people who distrust government or media.โ€

Benz noted how mainstream media and so-called โ€œfact-checkersโ€ have become arbiters of truth, determining what is acceptable and unacceptable to post online.

He explains how the pandemic has normalized โ€œcensorship in the name of public health.โ€

โ€œWhatโ€™s happened now is the government says, โ€˜Okay, weโ€™ve established this normative foothold in it being okay to [censor political speech], now weโ€™re going to supercharge you guys with all sorts of DARPA military grade censorship, weaponry, so that you can now take what youโ€™ve achieved in the censorship space and scale it to the level of a U.S. counterinsurgency operation,โ€™โ€ Benz explained.
